Palo Alto and San Francisco are only about 40 miles apart, while the 3 hour commute being discussed here from Georgia to Florida is probably 150-200 miles away, as Montgomery Alabama is probably close to 150 miles to the Florida border.

Thanks for the reply Eric.I have a RBC cross-border accountant and I have a regular BMO account.

My name is Jason Gottschalk, and I live in Takoma Park, right on the border of DC.

Harris is on the border of Jefferson park, so it does put you at the front lines of East Point's crime, much of which emanates from the high school across the street from the property you are looking at.  

I think that some or even a lot of investors at 1 point or another probably tell themselves 'JUST BUY SOMETHING' in part just to finally get into investing - the hope/speculation/risk they are taking on is that the appreciation of the property is going to bail them out of any -ve or break even cash flow situation...As for me, i am in the NW burbs of Chicago (10 mins from border to WI) and have not started investing yet as i am wanting to read/learn a lot first and come up with a plan.

Do you attend any close to the Mass-CT border?

@Jason Bajaj  In addition to Dave's comments above, your Canadian partners should obtain tax advice from a Canadian accountant or attorney specializing in cross-border business as their is no equivalent Like-kind deferral under Canadian tax law,  CRA is going to see capital gains as being due on the disposition.

I live on the border of DC so I see an increase in room rentals in one SFH as opposed to one tenant.

I see that they have resurveyed the property line bordering mine within the last couple mos. and saw that it agreed with the other one they had done.

This house is in far south Grandview near Cass County border (near 150/71 hwy) and is my fourth house in this particular area.
